re-:girnent of foot advanced, and was o awn up oppo ,site the dOor. The Messengers of the House. of Commons, and a number of the Police Officers, inv. rnediately apreared, and proceeded to force their way into the' house. A ladder was placed against one of the halt windows, and a Constable who as cended by it endeavoured to lift up the window, but it was kept down by-some person on the inside. In the mean time a party of Constables got into the area, and with iron crows forced open the kitchen door. The street door was also forced open, and tome soldiers entered the hall. Among the officers who forced their way into the Hall were Oddy and Townsend, of the Bow,- street Office, followed by a great number of the Patrole. After ascending the kitchen stairs, they met a Gentleman, of whom they d whether Sir Fran - cis was at home ? This Gentlemen an swered them in the affirmative ; and 'on their further request, condueled them to the room in which Sir Francis was at breakfast along with Lady Burdett, his children, and Mr. Jones Burdett, his brother. One of the patrole, who followed Oddy and Townsend, asked—" Which is Sir Francis ?" He 'answered, " I am he; who are you, and what do you want ?" Oddy replied, we are the civil power, and are come to demand your person in the nacre of the King."—Sit Trancis asked whether the She riffs were in attendance ? Oddy said, not that he knew of, but their officers were. Sir Francis then demanded their authority to enter his house. Oddy in answer said, he should immediately see it, and at that instant the Serjeant at Arms and his Deputy entered the room. A conversation to the following effea is stated to have taken place between Sir Francis and Mr. Colman, the Serjeant at Arms. SEIIJEANT—:" Sir Francis; you are my prisoner." Sir FRANCIS--.." By what authority do 3ou act, Mr. Serjeant ? By what power, Sir, have you broken into my house in violation of the laws of the land ?" SERJEANT—" Sir Francis, I am authorized by the warrant of Mr. Speaker of the House of Commons." Sir FRANCIS—" I contest the authority of such a warrant. Exhibit to me the legal warrant upon which you have dared to violate my house. Where is the Sheriff ? Where is the Magistrate ?" SERJEANT—" Sir Francis, my-authority is in my hand; .1 will read it to you; it is the warrant of the Right Honourable the Speaker of the House ofCom mous," Sir FRANCIS. " I reheat to you, that is no suf ficient war Pant. No—not to arrest my person in the open street—much less to break open my house, in violation of all law. If you have a warrant from his INLjesty, or from a proper Officer of the Knig, I t% ill pay instant obedience to it ; but I will not yield to an ilitgal order." SERJEANT. " Sir Francis, I demand you to yield in the name of the Commons House of Parliament, and I trust you will not compel me to use fOrce. I entreat you to believe that I wish to skew you every respect." Sir FEANCIS, " I tell you distinctly, that I +ill not Voluntarily submit to an unlawful order ; and I demand in the King's name, a:.d'in the name of the laws, that you forthwith retire &bin my house." StnUEANT. " Then, Sir, I must call in assis- tance and force you to yield." The peace-officers then in the usual form laid their hands, upon Sir Francis, who in conclusion said, " I protest in the King's name against this violation of my person and of my how. It is su perior force only that hurries me ouT of and you do it at your peril." He was- accompui:d down stairs by his Irrother, Mr. Jones Burckt, and Mr. Roger O'Connor. Lady Burdett was •of course a little disconcerted by this unpleasant ceremony, but condu&ed her s elf with great fortitude. Sir Francis was then, without farther impediment or demur, placed in a plain coach with four horses, which was in waiting. Sir Francis entered first, followed by his brother and the Deputy Serjeant at Arms, and an other officer. The coach immediately set ofrat a quick rate,estort ed in the following order.:—Two squadrons of the i.sth Light Dragoons (his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland's), two troops of Life Guards, with Read, - the Magistrate, at their head ; the coach with Sir Francis, followed by Capt. Thack wall's troop of the 15th Light Dragoons ; these were suc ceeded by two battalions of Foot Guards, marching in open order; another party of the 15th Light Dra goons tot ruing the rear. In this order they proceeded to Bond street, where the; haitcd for about three minutd, turned up Dond-sueet w4ll the exception of two battalions gf Foot Guards, who marched forward through Pic cadilly, the Haymarliet, and Strand, to the Tower. cavalry with the carriage went thiong z h Bond street, Oxford-street, &c. into the New down the City road, through Moorfields, by BTshopgate .

The Lord Mayor conducted the procession through the pith of the limits of the City which it had to cross to the precincts of the Tower, where it arrived about half-past twelve ; the two battalions of Guards,who had marched through Piccadilly, the Strand, and Cheapside, having arrived on Tower-hid abcut halt an hour before, and taking their stations in divi sions at the principal entrances. An officer of the. 15th Light Dragoons came in advance about a quar ter of an hour, to announce tie approach of the prisoner. He was hooted b" the mob, and had to fight his way through singly, which he did with great spirit till he came within the space occupied by the Guards. • He entered the Tower, where all the guns around the parapet were immediately manned. In a few minutes the advanced guard of the escort entered Tower-hill, by the Minories. It was composed of the Life Guards. Immediately on its passing, the two squadrons of the Light Dragoons which fol lowed opened to the right and left, and cleared the ground in all direaions, forming a circle, two deep, around the entrance, through which the remainder of the force, with the prisoner, proceeded , without any material interruption.; though there was much hooting and huzzaing—' Burdett for ever and some who had taken refuge within the palings even pelted the cavalry, who, in return struck at them with their swords, happily without any material in jury on either side. Many of the mob, were, how.' ever, forced into the Tower-ditch, but without mis chief, as there was but little water. At 1 1 the crowd was rather less than 'usual, but soon after hearing Sir. Francis was coming, the mob. rushed in from a;1 quarters, aod both Tower-hills were soon covered. Five minutes beture 12, arrived 300 of the Foot Guards from Westminster. They came down Mark-lane, headed by the City-Marshal, and a Civil Officer.. They drew up three deep in the line from the Tower gates, which were shut, coveting the entrance. Ten minutes past 12, an Officer of the lath Light Dragoons rode smartly out flour JeA ry-street, by the further side of Triniy House, making sign.:, for.the mob to c l ear t h e way. Great snouting at.d scampering. A qua r ter past twe:ve, arrived about twenty of the Hoist Gu.ads, who rode up towards the Tower g.ttes-. At the Ursta..ce of 100 yards came about 300 o f the 1 Stis L gut Dragooas, tlie" about 200 of the Horse Guards having in the middle of them the coach containing Sir F. Burdett. The windows of tire coach were all down; Sir Francis sat on the right, IDL'iond he Sat f,rward and wa• w,ll. ~.oen, As ha passed there was much huzzaing, theG,ards flourish ing their sWurds to intimidate the mob. Ater the Horse Guards came about 200 more of the 15th. As the procession ent, red by the further side of the Trinity House, it came on Tower-hill- in a ser, pentine form, and the military spe4lacle was • very grand. This state of things remained for fully half an hour, the carriage cot Bred by about 200 horse guards, the line of Foot Guards stretching from it up Tower-hill, the 15th lining the sides of Tower-hill, to keep off the mob; - which began to disperse. Sir ['rand; was admitted about one o'clock. Arrived at the Tower gates, the coach drew up with its side towards them, as if to set dov‘n, not to enter. The Serjeant at Arms alighted the small door at one side ‘A as opened, and a messenger went into the Tower. When a state prisoner enters the Tower, some cannon are always fired, and this gave rise to an unfounded report of the populace having been here fired upon. Upon the return of the military from the Tower, they came in the following order :—A platoon of cavalry first, then infantry, and lastly. cavalry and the populace, who by this time had assembled to the amount of several thousands, became very outrage- Ons, and, arming th mselves with every missile wea pan that came in their way, attacked the soldiers as they passed back by the way of. Trinity-house, and again through the Minories, changing their route up Fenchurch-street. The populace, who had without much manifesta tion of displeasure, and indeed with a serenity un usual on similar occasions, beheld the procession to the Tower, on the return of the military, broke forth with great violence, and pelted them with brick-bats, stones, mud, and every kind of annoy ance at hand. When the soldiers, whose condu& had been marked by the most guarded attention to their duty, - and apparently -with an anittous desire to avoid giving offence, arrived belore the Trinity House, their patience was tried beyond all farther forbearance, and they charged the multitude, sword in hand. The firing of the'carbines and horse-pis tot; became now pretty general, and- several people fell. The contest continued all the *ay up Fen church-street, where a shot entered the Shop of Mr. Goodeve, a boot-maker, 'and killed a man. Ano- . ' Cher shot penetrated into Mr. Phillips's carpet ware houSe, but did no mischief. Several were wounded; amongst them were a poor of bricklayer, in the service of Mr. Thomas,- sfiot through the . neck ; one person shot in the groin dangerously ; Willis, ofJohn-street, Black friars, througn the toot; another in the arm, carried to Mr. Dares, a surgeon on Tower-hill; and many with Satire wounds. A sailor, iii Rood-lane, received a shot on the back of the head ; a corn-meter in the Minor-ies wounded. -I Ater this melancholy.eveut, the tidings : r4which of course spread in all dire6tions, the popUlace. were ' not disposed to incur further danger, and the troop 1.( , 1IJO Vu.titell - by RICH ,i(f) ii ARRIS, of No. 4, Martiett,caill,l3ow-Street ; and I At the Sus-02ilt.:Lt 119• 112, StranJ, ~ %h ere Advertisements, Orders fa Last night . Paris Papers to the sth, and Dutch to the 7th, reached town. They contain the details of BUONAPARTE'S marriage. It appeals that BUONA- PARTE and the Archduchess arrived at St. Cloud, in great pomp, on 4he 30th elt. The elk it marriage ceremony was performed on Sunday at the Palace of St. Cloud, at two o'clock, and all the rejoicings, as well as all the ceremonies ordered in the Pro_ gramma, of course took place. " A most surprising circumstance" is stated to have occurred upon this occasion : during the whole of the time of the festi vities at St. Cloud the weather was perfectly fine, though the rain poured down in torrents at Paris, and the poor Parisians were in the utmost consternation lest the show should be spoiled ; but " the star of the Emperor once more prevailed over the equinoc tial gales," and, at the " MOMENT that the can non announced the departure of his Majesty for Paris, the Sun dispersed the clouds." On the arrivsl Of BIJONAPARTE at d the Arcixtuebess at the Avenue of Neuilly, they were complin:ented by the Magistiates of Paris. The religiorr: c. remgny of the marriage was then performed, an,i the air, we, are told, was rent with acclamatioos. Tnen follows an account of the illuminations, which were so splendid that they cannot be described, there was nothing to compare them to." " because The Dutch Papers contain very little ne‘As. .Louzs has not yet returned to Holland. Last night an important conversation took place in the House of Commons, respelling the events that have so much. agitated the public mind.for the last three days. The Serjeant at Arms gave a de- tailed account at the Bar of the steps which he took to take Sir FRANCIS BURDETT_into Sir FRANCIS'S Letter to the SPEAKER was also read' to the House : a more extraordinary or a more inde corous produdion .i.ve never heard. We have give n in'our preceding columns a detailed account of the interesting events which cc cut red yesterday. • The Thais sloop of war (the arrival of which we have already announced), on her passage home off the Island of Bermuda, 'spoke his Majesty's sloop Goree, Captain BYNG, who informed her, that two days before he fell in with a vessel from that island, who told him that the Thistle schooner, of six guns, Lieutenant's name unknown, had fallen in with and captured a Batavian East Indiamen, of 10 guns, said to be worth 400,000 dollars. The East Indianian hoisted American colours ; upon a shot being fired from the schooner, she hauled down the Aniericaty colours, hoistcd Batavian, and returned a broads'lde; When, aler an aetion of six hours, she struck to the schooner. She proved to be a ship from' Batavia, bound to America, having on board Admiral HART SINK (who was desperately wounded), with all his piroverty. The Thais brought home only four I,ri vnte letters, and these in answer to ,four she had carried out. A most diabolical attempt to commit assassination was made about twelve o'clock last night in Old Pa lace-yard, Westminster. A company of the Foot Guards was stationed there in the course of the evening, for the purpose of keeping the approaches to both Houses of Parliament clear and uninterrupt ed. The soldiers retired under the piazza, which makes part of the new buildings, to shelter them selves from the rain. The Officer who commanded than occasionally walked about. At the hour we. have ruentioned, while he was standing at 'the Southern extremity of the arcade, a shot, supposed to have proceeded from .a pistol, was discharged At him, the ball from which perforated his hat. The miscreant who attempted th 4 horrid crime unfor tunately escaped. . . The St. . James's Volunteers have mustered 300 ',.\ strong since the recent disturbances rose.—They ,have six rounds of ball Cartridges; an two field pieees, at their head-quarters, Dutours-court, where a company remains in guard night and Pay. The whole regiment meets daily at live o'clock. returnee with toe empty coach in the / same orocr in which they had gone to the Tower. They came over London-Bridge, alort St. George's-fields, over \Vestminster-Bridge, along Parliament -street, aad Whitehall, to the Horse-Guards, where they arrived a little before three o'clock. The populace in the neighbourhood of the Tower had nearly dispersed at three o'clock, and at four all was quiet. The journeyman bricklayer mentioned above to have been wounded, expired, we understand, whilst conveying him to the hospital. The person who was killed in the shoemaker's shop is stated to have been very. glive in annoying the military, and whilst one of the Life Guards was pursuing him, he ran for shelter into the shop, and was shot 'at the moment of entering it. These, we believe, were the only two persons killed. It is supposed that about eight were wounded. In the course of the evening Lady Burdett, with her son, and Lady Guildford, paid him a visit in his house, which is that which Earl Thanet occupied. It is next to the Governor's ; a good small house, with every conveniency. MALLS. ARRIVED-1 Heligoland. r Waterford. Dut—r Cotten• burgh, I Lisbon, i Cadiz, r Dublin, a Waterford.
